Is TOR Safe To Use?

I've used TOR + Privoxy for Pr Storm and 600 links were posted in few seconds.
When I tried a proxy from ip-adress.com/Proxy_Checker/ it took me about 5 minutes to hit 600 links.

My question: Is any of this 2 methods good for PR Storm ?
 
It sucks when you're reading interesting posts and they have links that are quite relevant to a post and you can't follow the link.

This link in your post:
(http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...on-thread.html)

Gives me this message:

persyme, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


I'm just trying to follow the link.

I can never get follow links here. I get this message (or some other problem).

Can you please tell me what the post for that link says or copy/paste the post here?




Tor gives you a random IP, it also is built to give you IPs that are shared most (bandwidth based), it focuses only on anonymity and protection of the node owners. Performance, using as proxy or stability is no priority in the Tor development.
Tor is mainly a program for residents of countries like burma, china, iran and similar where aggressive authorities monitor your activity and cut your penis (alternatively hands, legs or heads) when you do/look at something "wrong".


That is why I invented Cloakfish, it's using Tor nodes as proxies but it focuses on optimum peformance and the requirements in SEO businesses.
So when you use Cloakfish you are able to use Tor nodes noone else has used before or IPs that are used very rarely.

So while texacola is definitly right (when you use Tor to create affil accounts or post on CL you'll have no luck because of the massive abuse) Tor itself has still the potential to do that but not with the original program.

I know customers of Cloakfish use it for posting on CL successfully, also the use for account creation, cpas, paypal and EPN was reported as success multiple times to me.

For minor CL adventures it is probably not the worst tool, it will provide mixed results per post. (some require PVA, some work fine without and some will be ghosted)
If you plan to do hundred or more posts per day you'll want a private proxy solution like offered by texacola and mrtornado here on BHW.
Of course the need for a PVA might come up, at least after a few days of use on a fresh c-class it will be soft-banned by CL.

If you just need a high anonymous IP without preferences and no demands for stability, performance or previous abuse then plain Tor might be a solution. (As example to spy on competition, entering fake datails in foreign formulars etc)
Some months ago I compiled a list of different ways to change your IP and their advantages/disadvantages (http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo-tools/39912-professional-ip-anonymity-tool-cloakfish-anonymity-discussion-thread.html) maybe of interest.
 
Hi texacola.

Do your proxies get softblocked from cl because they are overused (each proxy posting more than once every 48 hours) or is it that cl can tell that they are coming from a server and/or service (if that's the correct way to describe it), i.e. not a private user / real IP address / ISP?

As you probably know many website use a service/method that can tell when the IP address is a proxy by using some sort of open proxy list method (I forgot the name of the site/method). Would your private proxies show up in something like that?

I hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks!




Absolutely, and I make no bones at all that so far all of my proxies have been softblocked by CL, of course I have quite a few clients that don't even venture near cl so that doesn't affect them at all. But, even though they are softblocked by cl like you said, all it requires is an investment in pva's (not hugely cheap of course) and you're in amongst the select few who do post on and make money from cl.

Pretty much ALL of the major heavy ad posters on CL use private proxies, and a lot of them are turning to me for their ip solutions because their previous providers are falling by the wayside and folding or aren't actually as exclusive as they were supposed to be, and bar none mine are the fastest that any of my users have come across because I don't stack dozens of cblocks per server. The maximum I do is 5 cblocks per server, plugged into a very fat data center (2 different data centers one on each coast of the US) pipeline, all the speed a person could ever want or need.
 
Tor is as safe as a wallet thrown into the faces of hungry workless thieves
 
I have used tor and can tell you that many sites detect and block it. As for security.... It is probably perfect for most people doing basic things... However the developed for us Navy part caught my eye. The government has their paws in almost anything that promises privacy, encryption, etc. So like others have said, if you are doing something bad don't think a simple free download (or most you pay for) will CYA. Some solutions work better than others. If you live near a beach... It's great! Tons of open Wifi from the condos, no cameras and plenty to catch your eyes while you surf the net.

However, if you like to look at little kids... I suggest you to suck the barrel of a .45 auto
 
Is tor blacklisted by twitter? I need a new twitter account after mine got suspended the end of last month.

Sweet jesus, thread necro... :eek:

Tor only takes a few minutes to download and install. You should try it out for yourself. But chances are that SOME nodes are blacklisted... with Tor you can 'switch' nodes with a single click.

When I googled is tor safe and this thread popped up first,and some people mentioned it being blacklisted for some sites. Why start a new thread?:D
 
A lot of people use it for P2P which is bound to slow the network down a lot.

Or just downloading in general (HTTP files from mega upload sites) which is just as heavy of traffic. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the manner that Tor was meant to be used in, which is for anonymous browsing. But I could be wrong. :shrug:
